It Was Love Lyrics - Singles - The Elected

You found a way to break away 

from the one you say that you love 

now you cry out your eyes day and night 

you set free the one that you love 

and it's true, I don't remember you 

but I believe you if you say that we met 

I get confused 

nights, i've been wondering 

I thought I was already dead 

but man, I loved 

yeah, I loved 

when I loved 

it was love 

it was love 

or at least, the closest I got 

and the coffee, the cream 

the blood in my dreams 

are the ones you used to know 

and the gas, the plane, the interstate 

live the ones you don't have to know 

and I regret this sad and awful truth 

but my mouth, it'll get away from me 

you, I just put up with you, kid 

I stayed cause you wouldn't leave 

remember love 

oh, love 

when we loved 

it was love 

it was love 

or at least, as close as I've come 

and maybe Joan was running all alone 

and there is a shortcut 

by putting a gun to your brain 

man, to take all that you got 

and the truth was I was just scared for you 

but for me, that's the way that it comes 

you'd gotten used to me and my awful tongue 

but god, didn't we have some fun? 

when we made love in the van 

and I drove with your hand on my lap 

and when San Diego got too unkind 

we just picked up and left it behind 

and we had some love and some hope 

a full tank of gas and a wide open road 

it was love 

to us, it was all that we had 

and there's just a day when you just break 

the best thing you had 

and I still call it love 

for now, it's the closest I've come
